Fibre Utilization

Canfor generates approximately 1.9 million tonnes of wood residue per year. The wood residue consists of bark, sawdust and shavings, primarily the byproducts of sawmill, plywood and OSB processes. We estimate that for 2005, with completion of the Canfor PG Pulp and Canadian Gas & Electric Grande Prairie cogeneration projects, approximately 65 per cent of our wood residuals will be converted to value-added products including: renewable electricity and heat, sawdust pulp, pellets, particleboard, and animal bedding.
